Living in the Woods – A Rare Oak Savanna Retreat If your idea of home is birdsong at sunrise, deer on the trail, and a neighborhood where nature surrounds—this oak savanna retreat offers just that. Located on over an acre of mature woodland overlooks a pond. With informal trail accessing Lebanon Hills Regional Park just across the road, the park’s main pavilion and trailheads are within walking distance. A deer path crosses the back of the lot, and regular wildlife sightings include turkeys, foxes, raccoons, woodchucks, and possums. In one year, 70 bird species were observed here—among them bald eagles, scarlet tanagers, great blue herons, pileated woodpeckers, and cedar waxwings. The two-story home features natural materials and handcrafted detail—granite countertops, artisan tilework, stone flooring, and hand-forged cabinet hardware and lighting. A sun-filled living room with fireplace opens to a screened porch and a broad deck—perfect for watching wildlife or the changing seasons. The main floor includes both formal and informal dining areas, a den or guest room, and a functional mudroom/laundry. Upstairs is a private ensuite primary bedroom and two additional bedrooms. The walkout lower-level offers a daylighted recreation space, a large family room, and storage. The home is part of a neighborhood where houses were sited to follow the natural contours of the glacial moraine, preserving the character of the land rather than reshaping it. Here, woodland and prairie are part of the neighborhood identity. One nearby home is entirely native plantings, and another fills with daisies each summer. This property includes a small lawn and garden area, as well as a restored prairie with native grasses and wildflowers. For those drawn to pollinators and seasonal color, it offers a flexible, low-maintenance alternative to traditional landscaping. While weekly lawn mowing isn’t required, thoughtful stewardship of the landscape to remove invasives and encourage native blooms can be done on your own terms. An oversized two-car garage includes an EV charging plug. This is a home for those who value space, quiet, and living among trees.
